 And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure and deepest respect that I present the star of our show. A man who's not only the dean of American comedy, but who, like the tide, keeps rolling along month after month, year in and year out. Who, despite the wearing of the elements and the ravages of time, only gains in quality. And who, although failing in memory, has managed to rope his way to the microphone. And here he is, Jack Benny. Thank you.
